Sorry, misunderstanding, when you said new system I read that as new 
machine.

Which formatxx.so files did you copy back? The new installation should 
have created a new format_g729.so. (if not, check with make menuselect 
that it is in fact selected to compile).

Did you see the module loading messages in /var/log/asterisk/messages?

Does show modules like g729 report that they are loaded?

If the above is untrue, does module load codec_g729a.so produce an error ?

When codec_g729.so loads the translation paths for to and from slin, 
there shouild be a line like the following in /var/log/asterisk/messages.

   == Registered translator 'g729tolin' from format g729 to slin, cost 4
   == Registered translator 'lintog729' from format slin to g729, cost 19
  Loaded codec_g729a.so => (Annex A/B (floating point) G.729 Codec 
(optimized for x86_64))

I'm just hoping someone comes along and tells me that It's a known bug, 
otherwise I'll probably end up spending a day trying to track down 
what's wrong.

Oh, and if everything I've written above reads as utter bollocks, please 
remember that I did write it at 1am.
